Your entire denigration of the XTi/XSi is based on the assumption that the OP will need what YOU need. A more expensive body, sure will take a lot of the "leg" work out of what the OP is doing, but the OP is a beginner and might not even NEED any of that. You are ASSUMING they will. I called you a toolbox (and stand by it) because it is incredibly ridiculous and irresponsible to try and dissuade someone based on the niggling reasons you gave above, none of which would prevent the OP from doing exactly what he wants to do: get an introduction to photography with a capable, compotent camera. Whatever the OP chooses, eventually using the camera will become muscle memory and a majority of the "Creature comforts" associated with more expensive bodies become moot.
Not a single person in this thread said that. Irregardless, its still a valid OPINION and you kow EXACTLY what they are saying. "I have this camera, it works well for me, therefore I think it will work well for you."
Physician heal thyself. The only time you began to qualify this statement, was when you saw someone take the bait of your initial pointless, unsubstantiated two comments and were able to argue with your little rant.
"Buy this camera because I have it so it's the best!"

So instead of being immature and throwing around names, how about you offer a better solution than a pointless "Buy what ever camera feels good in your hands" remark.
The XTI is garbage for portraits. You should look at a 5D.
